Love and Marriage

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?" The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick". The student went to the field and saw one big wheat in the first row but wonders, may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one, but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he started to realize that each wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw. He realized that he has missed the biggest one. He regretted and went back to the teacher with an empty hand. The teacher told him, "This is love. You keep looking for a better one, but you are too late when you realize later that you have already missed the right one".

"What is marriage then?" the student asked. The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the corn field. This time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake. When he reaches the middle of the field, he picks one medium sized corn that he is satisfied with and comes back to the teacher. The teacher told him, "This time you bought a corn. You looked for one that is just nice, and you have faith and belief that this is the best one you get. This is marriage."

Moral of the story: Love is like wheat and marriage is like corn :P
